that sfiortd the five. we'll see you back here tomorrow. >> bret: this is a fox news alerted. one of the most consistent thorns in u.s. policy has died. hugo chavez succumbed to cancer today after a two-year battle. now there are questions. what is next for venezuela and what does this mean for latin america. steve harrigan looks back at his life and legacy. >> reporter: hugo chavez, venezuelan president and political foe of the united states is dead after losing a battle to cancer. he underwent lengthy treatment in cuba for undisclosed form of cancer having three operations, one to remove a tumor the size of a baseball from his abdomen. his resent absences led to widespread rumors about his

health as contrasted to appearing on television for hours at a time, speaking and reading and occasionally singing. he was born in 1954 in rural venezuela and grew up with hopes of becoming a professional baseball player. instead he entered the military rise together rank of colonel and engineering a failed coup attempt in 1992. he was jailed and soon released and ran for president in 1998. backed largely by venezuela's poor he promised to spread the wealth from the nation's oil reserves. his role models was fidel castro and simone bolivar, even renaming the country. he introduced a new constitution and attempted to consolidated power but rad moves led to street preflts and coup attempt. two days later he was returned

to power with a bitter hatred for the u.s. government who he blamed for the coup attempt. he referred to the u.s. as the evil empire, famously branded george w. bush as the devil during an address at united nations and warned countrymen of impending u.s. invasion of venezuela. his behavior was increasingly criticized as clown like but he won reelection twice relying on high oil prices for his wide ambitions. in a nation of 30 million it was one man hugo chavez who controlled the presidency, the parliament, the judiciary and the media shutting down any television or radio stations which were critical of his rule and forging ahead with increased government control over the private sector. nationalize is catch phrase he

would say in front of the cameras at pointing to a business or building that would suddenly by decree be under state control. he continued to enjoy strong support from venezuela's poor despite increasing street violence and one of the highest inflation rates in the world. when in good health he was a constant presence on state controlled television, doing hour long speeches that had to be carried on every channel. his absence creates a vacuum of power that opponents and supporters will no doubt try to claim. with divisions between the two sides so bitter whether any transition can be achieved peacefully. >> reporter: we've got the really unsure constitutional situation inside venezuela right now. you have a president who is dead. he was re-elected but he was never officially inaugurated. that means his old term ended but new term never officially begun. what is likely to happen is new

elections, probably within 30 days. the question is will the venezuelan people continue to listen to hugo chavez after his death and vote for his hand picked successor, nicholas duro. >> bret: what is your sense of where the people are. this was obviously expected. you have this new administration. what is your sense of the mood there on the streets last time you went? >> i think there is real impatience. there is high crime and the economy is really tanking, some of the highest inflation in the world. the luster with chavez after 14 years, now a newcomer he is going to have a tough battle at the polls. >> bret: steve, live in miami. we have live pictures coming in from caracas. these are live pictures from

venezuela. some cheers ongoing there on the streets. let's get official obama reaction. ed henry joins us with that part of the story. >> reporter: we're still waiting for a written statement by the white house. it should be coming out any moment. we've gotten from talking to officials in private is obviously great relief inside the white house behind me right up until the final moments. hugo chavez and his colleagues were trying to cause trouble for the obama administration and the u.s. right up until the end. just today his vice president charging that the u.s. government had given chavez cancer, something the u.s. state vehemently denies that chavez had in fact died. he called george bush the devil. earlier in the obama administration, there was

embarrassing where chavez hand hiamd book. back in december there was another flare gip and basically called chavez someone who pushed authoritarian policies and suppressed people. there was a furious response from the venezuelan government. they said it was despicable for obama to comment while he was ailing. so the question is what happens with massive oil reserves in venezuela. that is big, big deal. >> bret: you say a statement may be coming out. obviously we'll bring that here on fox. reaching out, do we know what kind of interaction the u.s. has had with venezuela in this interim time with leaders there? >> reporter: there has been little contact. the two governments have been at each other's throats for some time. we don't know what was happening. we are pressing for more answers but told in recent days there has been some contact as the

u.s. has been getting ready for a long time. there it was inevitablely going to be a transition. >> bret: let's get perspective on what the chavez passing means his death means, congress ed royce joins us. thank you. your reaction to all this. >> its blow to socialism and potentially blow to iran because higo chavez used that position to help iran skirted sanctions. he used his position as dictator in venezuela. he essentially back dictator by scrapping the constitution, by seizing assets, by seizing the means of communication, but what is interesting now, even under this constitution, elections have to be held in 30 days. he lost narrowly to a very positive popular governor who will now charge his vice president which doesn't have the

same persona has higo chavez has. >> bret: how much do you know about vice president maduro? >> he does not elicit the same level have enthusiasm on the street. as opposed to the marathon runner who is the governor who runs a state very well at a time when the rest of the economy is absolutely in a state of implosion. really is a stark contrast to those who feed on class hatred. i think offers a real optimism, a real hope and fact that he came so close in the last election despite the attempts to skew that election, i think really put in place in the next 30 days a real opportunity for venezuela. >> bret: there have been some bright spots in venezuela, economically. venezuela is not one of them. what do you think this means for u.s. venezuelan relationship potentially and also for the region, what it means

strategically? >> a blow for ecuador and socialist government in bolivia and in cuba. a real possibility, a real possibility there can be a different model, a model based on what we see in colombia today where you see tremendous opportunity, economic growth, prosperity created. it is now, think, people in the absence of hugo chavez will compare their situation and how much ground they've lost compared to what they are seeing in their neighboring state in colombia. i think that that is perhaps the most hopeful thing in terms of a new direction in latin america. >> bret: steve mentioned it and ed mentioned it the country with the largest oil reserves in the world. secretary clinton when secretary of state called it dirty oil. it's not saudi arabia, it's

venezuela, still it has a lot of power on the oil marketed. will this have an affect on any 2456? >> twad so badly managed over the last decade. if a competent government comes into power and if that oil so the world market instead of used for all of the chavez attempted to use it for, i think it will bring more abundance into the markets and fields will be far more productive without chavez there, without his micromanagement of what used to be a fairly efficient operation for oil fields. i think its positive all the way around. >> bret: we're going to check in live in venezuela. i would be remiss if i didn't ask you about the benghazi investigation. last time we had you here, the benghazi, libya committee hearings were ongoing. we're going to turn now to a story about that. where does that stand?

where are you? are you still investigating? what has happened? >> we are doing exactly that. we have demanded a series of communications and records from the administration. our investigators are looking into that data. at the same time there is breaking news, there is an individual windyed in that attack who is here at walter reed and we're very interested in interviewing him. >> bret: quickly, our access to the people who are believed to be behind this, one of them is in egypt and we still haventalk? >> exactly. that is absolutely unbelievable that we in the united states could not obtain access to those who participated in this, who

had knowledge about it and it's being blocked. we want answers as to why we cannot obtain the facts and interview those who had a hand in this and why they are not brought to justice. >> bret: thank you. thank you very much for coming in. john kerry tells they are training anti-assad officials, it's the first acknowledgement and adds another element in syria's brutal civil war. james rosen talked one on one with the new secretary of state today. >> if one issue dominated the agenda on this trip, it was the civil war in syria. [ gun shots ] >> kerry organized a conference in rome to steer more non-lethal aid, but he appeared to confirm alleging a more direct role. >> the u.s. has begun off-site

training for some forces in that conflict. what is your hope for how that will help contribute to a speedy exit from assad and do you see it expanding in the future? >> i think what president obama is hoping to build on what has already happened. now, the president has ratcheted up through the meeting in rome which we brought about inviting countries to come in order to send the signal that we are determined to change president assad's calculation. that is one part of it, but other nations are doing other things. >> reporter: later a senior state official said he was referring to the totality of effort at rome. he dises closed for firgh time efforts he has made as secretary to acquire a better you can of the benghazi attack. >> why have we not heard from any of the benghazi survivors? >> well, i can't tell you the

answer to that. i can tell you i have visited with one of the survivors at bethesda hospital who is doing very, very well. >> will we hear from them? >> i don't know what the circumstances are of any questions to talk to him. >> reporter: president obama vowed that the perpetrators would be brought to justice, it's been six months. will we see justice brought to those perpetrators? >> i hope we will. i know the president is committed to try to do so. i have personally talked to the f.b.i. director to get a brief on exactly where we stand in that process. >> reporter: what did he tell you? >> he told me literally on the eve of his departure to go to tripoli in order to talk with people that they are doing everything they can within the f.b.i. to conduct their investigation and to lay the groundwork in order to be able to bring justice. >> reporter: we are six months out? >> justice sometimes takes a

while when you operated by high standards and when you need the levels of evidence that we do. we are working at it and continue to work at it. >> reporter: as the tenth anniversary of the iraq war nears, i asked him if he still believes it was a mistake? >> i believe that getting our troops out of iraq which is what the president did was right thing to do. if you talk to almost anybody here in the region as i have in the last days, turning the region up side down in a way that that did has created serious security challenges for people throughout this region. think we can be proud of what we achieved. i think our troops did a stunning job. >> and president bush? >> he deserves for troops going in but different issues about the choice going in, but they

have given the iraqis to have a democracy that hopefully can work. it's up to them to make it work and we are still struggling with that. >> reporter: in the nine foreign capitals he visited he met close to 40 world leaders. now, he heads back to the oval office to talk to what he calls the guy calling the shots, president obama. senate intelligence committee has approved john been in an as c.i.a. director. before that the administration greased the wheels by providing some documents. senators had demand order the administration's drone program and the terrorist attack in benghazi libya. there are still questions as you've heard about those. the benghazi investigation appears to be stifled elsewhere. katherine has that story. >> at a bipartisan committee, voted 12-3.

pick to run to run c.i.a. got the nod of approval. >> this is an agency that most of us think needs oversight and needs direction and needs a director. so i believe that the majority leader will be likely moving cloture shortly. >> reporter: the administration just released the email traffic on the talking points and demonstration for the 911 attack. >> john brennan's ought to be considered on his qualifications, not on disputes on an issue that did not involve john brennan's nomination to be the c.i.a. director. >> reporter: in a letter secretary kerry, frank wolf joins other republicans pressing for the number of benghazi survivors, their injuries and why congressional access to them has been blocked. >> the thought that american citizens have been wounded protecting the annex and nobody even acknowledges their service

is incredible. >> reporter: on the investigation, egyptian authorities are still denying direct u.s. access to a man that allegedly set up camps in eastern libya where some of the suspects may have been trained. he tried to raise the access with egyptian president morsi. >> for them not to allow us to interview a person that may have information on the death of an american ambassador and three other people that were killed and others that were wounded is unacceptable. >> beyond benghazi in a move to ease brennan's passage, they provided the legal memos that justified the use of drones for the targeted killing of american terrorists overseas. >> we have worked with the committee to provide information about legal advice and what the president believes is a unique situation and to in doing so help expedite confirmation. >> reporter: the acl sum claims the administration is still

withholding drone documents from congress. >> it's unacceptable in a system of checks and balances for congress to only get five of 11 legal opinions. >> reporter: full vote could come as early as tuesday. eric holder will on the hoyle wednesday where they are expected to raise the drone issue and whether they have been blocking congressional oversight. >> bret: up next, pulling back the welcome mat from the people's house.

report. the big question now is what moves forward in venezuela. currently the vice president, nicholas madu did ro is in charge. there will be a constitutional requirement for an election within 30 days. as you look again live the chanteding on streets of caracas. higo chavez, a charismatic figure in venezuela and announcement was made by his vice president about his death. >> yesterday, from this roster --

zbluibtd see the controversial meeting with president obama in 2009. let's bring in our panel a little earlier. tucker carlson, kirsten powers and charles krauthammer. okay, charles, your thoughts and reaction and what it means. >> i hated to be ungracious but i will be. he was a thug. he tried to dismantle democracy in his country. almost succeeded and i think his country will be immaterial proved by his passing. the only problem is that the man he appointed as successor, very recently when he went to cuba is himself a hard-core communist and very pro cuba. there are some the chavez's party who are socialists but not hard lined anti-american

communists. for one country that will suffer immediately sl s cuba because it and other countries in latin america had been dependent on chavez for concessions. for example, tons of oil at very low prices as a way to sustain their economies. in the long run they will be cut off, they are going to live on their own. the problem is chavez's successor who is likely to win given their might be a sympathy vote with the death of chavez she hard line as chavez is. only upside is, it's hard to maintain a revolution without the charismatic leader like chavez himself. without him they may succeed in holding on in this election, it's unlikely that his movement will not dissolve. in the end it's unsustainable and it's quite a cruel system that he initiated in his

country. >> and latin american diplomat said it will be a challenging time. they have big economic challenges and election within 30 days. that is what the constitution calls for. what about the relationship between the u.s. and what the obama administration may or may not try to do? >> i don't think it's ungracious first of all to call him a thug. he was a totalitarian thug. he was anti-democratic. he was a human rights abuser and not a friend of the united states. so, at a bare minimum we have the hope of possibly having somebody that we can work with. i'm not saying it looks great but we know status quo this was somebody that united states couldn't deal with. this is very important country. fourth largest oil producer in the world and there is a possibility we might be able to work with. >> people who look carefully what chavez believes come away

confused. was he a markist. he was a bolivar worshiper but the lone star was anti-americanism. he used it in unite in a terrifying way to unite latin america. how they of evolved in the past 15 years. people forget that ortega is still the president of nicaragua after a hiatus of number of years. it seems to me this ought to be something of a wake-up call to the united states. our attention is focused on the middle east we have a huge and seething group of people just south of us who organizing principle is hating us. >> it's unsustainable. the only reason he could sustain it is because he is sitting on oil. he spread the ideology to bolivia and ecuador and to

nicaragua. in the end those are basket cases and with socialism, their system and socialism is not going to make it. it was margaret thatcher who said socialism doesn't work because the socialists use other people's money so he sustained them. i'm not sure its movement by ideologically he was important at the end of the '80s when the whole world abandoned communism as ridiculous idea it was chavez that revived it in latin america. but if you take it chavez it will die in time. the concern i have in the next election, the opposition did well against chavez, because of the way that the party controls the press and has the troops out that intimidate people, it will probably hang on to power for a

few years. >> bret: okay. we will follow this. the breaking news continuing. hugo chavez, dead at the age of 58. coming up next, secretary of state john kerry talking about benghazi, why are the benghazi survivors not talking? he doesn't have an answer but he talked to one of them, that is next.

interviewing john kerry today. we can confirm that the kneets on capitol hill do have the requested documents about the transcripts talking to some of the guards at the benghazi libya compound. they just received those documents this week, but this investigation as we heard from the chairman of the house foreign affairs committee is continuing. we're back with the panel. skir kir sentence when you hear the secretary of state talking about that, not knowing idea survivors haven't spoken out and he has spoken to one of them, what do you think? >> someone needs to ask the president to define the word transparency. the fact, forget the fact that john kerry met with them. how come members of congress haven't been given the names of them. his lack of could you remember yos sit remarkable them. he met with them but i don't know why. there is no curiosity here.

there should be more oversight in this situation. they should have had the names of these people. >> bret: we have continued to ask for these names, continued to ask for access and has been denied. >> come on. reports say there are anywhere between 7-30 personnel in the attack. we're going to hear from them. these things come out. that is guaranteed. we know that. they will tell their story, maybe on this network. everything is revealed in the end. so it seems to me the wise course for the white house is to come up with a coherent story about what happened that night. eyewitnesses will be telling that story. this will not last forever. they seem to imagine that the details can be kept from the public indefinitely and that is not the case. >> bret: charles? >> i think they imagine people won't care, mainstream media

won't care and the story will be cold. they think they scored a great coup on the day that secretary clinton was on the hill, not exactly distinguish for themselves in the questioning. it was over. much of the media it is over. they are counting incuriosity on the part of the press. they wanted to drag it out so the other crisis i think when it comes out the calculation of the administration is it won't matter. i think it might. it depends on what happens. the only explanation for all of the secrecy here is that it is likely that a large number of these are c.i.a., undercover and you don't want them out there. you have to protect secrets and identities. i understand that. it's likely there are at least a few who are not and hiding their identities i think is absurd and

it is not going to help them. >> bret: let's go on to investigation. egyptian authorities are holding what they believe to be one of key suspects in the benghazi attack. so far, u.s. authorities have not had had access to this guy. he goes by different names. amed and gamal but the bottom line is they think she tied to the benghazi attack. still much like we saw elsewhere we haven't had access to them? >> the administration has said, track down the people who did this. this is what obama said after it happened and they don't seem to be that aggressive about it or that interested in it. in terms of keeping the identities of these people secret, they can be kept secret and still disclose to congress. i'm not saying to make a facebook page and put everybody's faces on it but they should give the names to

congress and they should have the opportunity to talk to them and read the f.b.i. notes. >> bret: i met tunisia. >> and wanted, unfortunately the chaos that has ensued and we got intelligence from zwript in years past. this is pretty distressing. the revealing line of james' interview is when he pressed kerry, he said there have been a number of lessons we learned from benghazi but he never specifies what the lessons were. it's trouble some. here is what we did wrong. >> bret: john brennan moving out of committee, pretty big vote 12-3, still could be held up there. but the drone issue, benghazi issue, also documents about the bin laden compound we're finding out about now. >> i don't think it will stop

ending up as head of c.i.a. i think it was an opportunity to have a debate on the drone issue to have a debate on some of these other issues, but in the end i don't think he was culpable enough in any way that even republicans would deny him the position. >> bret: next up, a general speaks out, a ufo over j.f.k. and super bug that has people worried. more news ahead, next. my mother made the best toffee in the world. it's delicious. so now we've turned her toffee into a business. my goal was to take an idea and make it happen. i'm janet long and i formed my toffee company through legalzoom. never really thought i would make money doing what i love.
